MySQL AB to Optimize its Open Source Database for SAP NetWeaver

MySQL AB today announced its plans to optimize the MySQL Enterprise Server for the SAP NetWeaver platform.

At the SAP TechEd '07 event being held in Las Vegas this week, MySQL and SAP AG also announced that the sales and support of the MaxDB database will revert back to SAP, in order to unify the products development, distribution and support under one organization. MaxDB (formerly SAP DB) is the database that powers SAP Business ByDesign, the company's recently-announced on-demand software solution for midsize companies -- in addition to SAP Business Suite and SAP Business All-in-One.
